Education

Bachelors in English Language and Literature, General from Augsburg College

Masters in Liberal Arts and Sciences/Liberal Studies from Hamline University

Career Experience

I really enjoy interacting with people, which is why I was a restaurant server for over ten years. After finishing my graduate degree in liberal studies, my belief in the progressive influence of writing, reading, and synthesized thinking has become further inspired and amplified. I've been an adjunct English composition teacher at community colleges in both Indiana and Tennessee for the past three years. The more I get to teach, the more I want to teach.

I Love Tutoring Because

I have a lot of conviction about the importance of liberal arts education. I think that writing and reading comprehension skills can promote empathy and self-awareness in an individual. So tutoring is one way I feel that I can advocate that. I love exploring different ways of re-framing explanations of material and techniques for understanding based upon a student's learning style and experience. And I love that tutoring in English is also about trying to help students to develop independent thinking skills that they can then use in any academic discipline or future career.

I was trying to tie in "background and personality" into one main point with "volunteer work" as my second main point, but I liked your suggestion to make it a list of three traits instead. Thanks!

Essentially, they did a good job; however, they showed me dictionary.com and thesaurus and also the Purdue OWL sample paper; all of this is good but I've looked at all of these and used these all as reference. Other then that, it was good. A little longer then i would have like, but still good in the corrections.
